Today I got chatting to David McCaffrey who initially called about a boat we have listed. He is launching a free magazine early next year which sounds very interesting. Here's a few words from him about it:
Batten down the hatches; Companionway is a brand new magazine for liveaboards and anyone interested in life on the water. We champion quirks and fun, covering compelling stories and articles about anything nautical relating to: boats, projects, races, personalites, recepies, navigation and history etc.
Our aim is to give voice to boaties of all kinds, and so we sound the invitation for your contributions. If you are interested in spinning a yarn, or sharing some photos, please email us with your ideas:
companionway@gmx.co.uk
So, we're launching in Spring 2011, and the question on everyone's lips is: will Companionway sink or stay afloat? Well, it’s up to you, so take the helm, and steady as she goes...

Lets see if we can persuade David to write a blog for us instead. That sample magazine cover looked tantalising!

How time goes by! Companionway didn't make the launch because of a lack of interest/sponsorship. That said, if enough people ask, then we will have to get this up and running, won't we. But until then, I currently have a yacht restoration and a novel I'm working on. Plus I hope to get some more sailing done this year! Please do send us any comments or ideas.

What happened about this magazine, by the way?
If you've viewed one of our boats in Scotland the chances are you have met Rob, our voice of experience and enthusiasm.
